LightHeaded  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: v100002-1.0.0-2022-12-15
by: Cladhaire [More]

Classic not updated at the moment, only retail.


LightHeaded is a very simple addon that displays quest information and comments from http://www.wowhead.com in game, eliminating the need to Alt-Tab when you get stuck on quest. This addon was inspired by qcomments and wowhead_quests, which both serve a similar purpose. Data is only loaded when you first request it, so you can be sure you're not using more memory than you need to.

I HIGHLY suggest using this addon with TomTom, another one of my addons (http://www.wowinterface.com/download...32-TomTom.html ). This allows you to simply click any coordinate in LightHeaded to add it to your map as a waypoint.

The following slash commands are valid:
  • /lh attach - Attaches the frame to the quest log
  • /lh detach - Detaches the frame, allows you to resize and move it
  • /lh sound - Toggles the open/close sound
  • /lh page - Toggles showing all comments on one page, or with multiple pages
  • /lh bgalpha <0.0-1.0> - Changes the alpha of the LH window background textures, so you can see the world.
  • /lh debug - Enables or disabled debug messages when loading quest databases
  • /lh config - Opens the LightHeaded configuration window
  • /lh autodetails - Toggle automatic opening of the Lightheaded window when clicking a quest in the objective tracker

LightHeaded now includes the English descriptions and introductory text for most of the quests in the game. This is disabled by default, but can be enabled for those players that are not playing in their native locale.

LightHeaded supports sending coordinates to TomTom, MapNotes, Cartographer2 and Cartographer3.

IMPORTANT: Addon authors that wish to use this API and data should
include the wowhead logo in the frame that displays this information.
They are kind enough to let me continue parsing their database, and we
owe them at least that much. Thank you.

Thanks for using my addons!

Updated 2022-12-15 for retail.

Yep, there's no good solution as far as I can tell.

I guess I'll see if I can export nQuestLog's frame and see if I can make it stand alone. (no better time to learn how to make your own addon's eh? )


As for ideas on the new quest log frame element, why not leave lightheaded as it is show in FuxieDK's screenie, and expand the right half of that frame just a bit to fit everything in. leaving the page buttons there and move the search bar down there as well (have it at the bottom instead of top, right above the buttons and wowhead logo)

I guess the other first guess would be to move the new frame over, adding the wowhead show/hide button along the side or bottom of the new frame, having it open in between, but this could look funny in things like skinner or AI UI and other quest log mods.

At some point, yes. I don't have a good idea of what to do, however.

[quote]Now for my question...

I know there is a "show comments on single page" and detach frame buttons, but it's just not the same. I miss the minimalistic frame with nested comments./[quote]

The easiest way is to make your own frame and then call the function that populates the frame with data. I'm not 100% sure that API works.. but all data is available via the API which means you can build your own integrated frames however you would like!

Appearance

With all the recent changes to the quest log, nQuestLog is pretty much dead (only barely living thanks to the work of SilentDave's fan update) and I've since migrated to SorhaQuestLog (which is only a minion, unlike nQL).


Now for my question...

Heres a picture of Lightheaded with nQuestLog (with 5 bugsack errors :P) for reference

Thanks for the new parse, Cladhaire! I (and I'm sure, many others) appreciate it-- and all you do to keep your addons up to date! With the changes to the game, and the fact that we're in a transition between Wrath and Cataclysm, that's probably quite a challenge right now. I just wanted to let you know that we're aware of that and do appreciate the extra effort on your part.
